Anyone having this problem? I switched my lock screen security over to the fingerprint scanner the other day, and I seem to be having some problems with it. It works ok. Like I can scan my finger, and the screen will unlock, but I keep randomly also getting asked for my alternate password, which is the other way that I can unlock it.
I'll unlock the screen with my fingerprint, then it will ask me for my password. I can hit Cancel, and it will still work fine, or if I enter the password, it takes me to the Lock Screen settings. It also randomly asks for my password if I'm just doing something random, like using Google Maps. And now, sometimes the screen won't even come on, when I wake the device. Black screen, backlighting lights up. What the heck??? Very strange. Please help, thanks in advance,

I used the finger print scanner for a couple of weeks but went back to a pin because it was just quicker to unlock the device. The only time I got the "alternate password" was when I exceeded the five or six tries you get with the finger print scanner. Are you rooted and if so what apps/services do you have frozen?

Thanks for the reply! So, basically after failing to unlock with your fingerprint five or six times, it stopped letting you swipe the scanner, and prompted you for your password? Or did it unlock with your fingerprint on the fifth or sixth try, and THEN ask you for your password? Just wondering.
To answer your other quesiton, I am not rooted, but I do have a number of apps "Turned Off" via the Application Manager. They are:
Accessories
Amazon
Amazon Kindle
Amazon Appstore
Caller Name ID
Drive
Flipboard
Google Play Games
Google Play Movies & TV
Google Play Music
Google Play Newsstand
Hangouts
IMDb
Isis Mobile Wallet
Memo
POLARIS Office 5
Slacker
Verizon Tones
VZ Navigator
Should I not have any of these disabled? Thanks again!

It would not unlock the phone, I would have to enter the password to proceed. The apps you have turned off should not cause you a problem.

Hmm intersting. So, my problem is different. Anyway, good to know that the apps I have disabled shouldn't cause a problem.
Well, the only other thing I can think of is that maybe an app I recently got is causing the Lock Screen to go haywire. A couple weeks ago, I got an app called Worx Home from my workplace that allows me to check my work email on my phone. It actually forced me to have a security setting enabled on my lock screen, so maybe it's messing with it. I don't recall having this problem when I first got the phone, and tried out the fingerprint lock. Maybe I should mess with that app.
Anyway thanks for the replies.

Yeah, it sounds as if Worx Home could be your culprit.

Yeah, I think that's a safe bet. In fact, if I read the documentation correctly for Worx Home, the app checks your phone's security every 6 hours to make sure you have a password, pin or pattern setup on your lock screen. Guess maybe it doesn't like the fingerprint scanner since it's such a new feature, and it tries to pull up my Lock Screen Settings, hence the random Alternate Password screen.
Alright, guess I gotta either suck it up, or switch to a pattern or something. Thanks again!
P.S. Can disabling S-Voice or Samsung Messages cause any problems?
Does anyone know how to bypass Google lock on this tablet? My kids created an account and then factory restored it, but have no idea what credentials they used. I am able to run chrome, then install Nova launcher apk and eventually get into settings, however, when I reset the tablet, it still restores with Google lock. This is legit tablet, I have the box and everything.

figured it out. let me know if you need help.
I could you this! Do you remember what you did to unlock it?
Okay, I feel like this should have been clearer and out there somewhere, but here is how I got passed it.
There are a couple ways to get to the Chrome browser, and that's what you want to do. What I did was type in the login field, select the text, and then select "ASSIST" in the pop-up window.
When the Google App appears, start typing "Chrome." Select the Chrome app when it appears.
In Chrome, search for "Test DPC Apk." Dowload. Open and install. You'll have to give permission to use unkown third-party apps in settings. Once installed, run. Select "Set up device owner." Keep going through all the options. Expect the tablet to restart a couple times. Then go to settings and do a factory reset.

Hello. I recently bought the Nubia Z17, really really happy with it. But there is issues with it which I have tried to solve but haven't suceeded.
The biggest issue:
I do not get notifications constantly, just sometimes. Snapchat, Messenger and Facebook pops up when they want to, but its very rare. Gmail never pops up, and never syncs in the background. I have tried to fix this by changing the settings in the NeoSafe app, but it doesnt want to work.
An annoying issue:
Also, a problem that happens when the phone gets cold. It feels like its pressing the left button by it self, the ''open app-drawer'' pops upp all the time and when i press it down it pops up again. I live in Sweden, and its currently only -5 outside, and China have that weather too, so why is it a problem?
An issue which I can't understand:
Also, I sometimes having trouble downloading apps from Play Store, I have tried to solve this and it is mostly solved by removing cache from the app, but same thing keeps happing after a while.
Anyone got any tips or solutions? I think I have the chinese rom with google services installed. Works great overall, fast, smooth and nice screen. I would like to avoid flash another rom into it or restore it.
Thanks.
i got the same problem on my z17s.... i have to let the app opened in multitask to have the notification, lucky i have 6gb of ram....i tried with neosafe and app settings but still the same...
if you have your phone rooted you can convert the apps (WhatsApp ...) as Systemapp. I did it with LuckyPatcher. With Titaniumbackup works that too. But I have had problems that the app was gone.
Give it a try
Here the same problem with my Z17s ... also tried to enable the apps in the "performance mode" in the power management, also no luck for some apps (although whatsapp works fine).

more problems than you. keep auto reboot. .. thıs phone ıs builshitt. ı give ıt away to my 3 age son for broke ıt LOL. ı will never ever buy nubia ın my life . Lg and samsung ıs the best
same problem....
Hi, I also recently got my z17, I was very excited to finally have a "flagship" phone. I encounter the same problem. I have tried everything said here, but what I did kinda worked. So I did a factory reset. Once reset and log in in the google app 1st, and then the play store, I downloaded the apps, but before opening the apps for the 1st time I went directly into the permissions section in settings and allow just about everything, I did the power performance and the network performance, then I opened the apps and I went into the apps settings to allow notifications. Like I said, it kinda work. I don't get FB notifications as often, but I do get gmail.
I had thought that it was a restriction of background data, but apparently is not.
Now, I cannot sync my google calendar with my gmail account in the phone. When I download the app and I open it it has a [email protected] account...and that is not me, I cant change it or anything. Do you know how to fix it?
Check if you have Neo Safe or something named like that. It acts as a security manager for your device. Its also able to block notifications. I think I changed some settings there and then it started to work.
I sold a Asus Zenpad 8 S P01M Z580C to a guy on ebay. He complained about it and set it back. I have the box and everything.
The thing is, I can't log in because of FRP Google Lock. I've tried waiting 24 hrs and 72 hrs. No luck. It won't unlock. I keep getting the message: "Device Reset. Sign in with a Google Account that was Previously Synced." The guy has sent me links, but nothing substantial to help. I would like to unlock the FRP using the safest way possible. He even said he cleared his google accounts off the device.
I'm able to get to chrome, but that's pretty much where my success stops. Can anyone help me get into this device? I own it, and it's really frustrating that I'm being stymied on this.

Update: The tablet is running Android 6.0.1. I'm able to get to the Settings menu (selected text within the Chrome browser, and then went to "Assist", then searched for "Settings"), but I can't turn the tablet's developer options on or anything like that. Anyone have a clue? I guess I just want to know the best way to unlock this.
I have another update. I was able to find the Build info for this tablet, and get to developer status, but the developer status now only tells me that "those options are not available for this user" or something.
Okay, I feel like this should have been clearer, but here it goes.

I've noticed that after Oreo update some apps cannot draw over other apps anymore. Like Google Translate "Tap to Translate" or Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings. Lastpass works fine tho. But if I try to make work this apps, it will tell me I need to go to settings to enable "Draw over other apps" permission for that app. The funny thing is that the permission is already given and switching it on and off, killing the app, restarting the phone, etc doesn't do anything. For the apps is like I never granted the permission and so they don't work as they should.
I'm trying to avoid doing a factory reset, btw.
Anyone else has this problem? Anyone using "tap to translate" of Google Translate ?
Thanks!
.
I'm guessing no one has the problem? xD I guess I'll factory reset then...

I'm having the same issue with twilight and Pokemon calci iv. I just did a factory reboot and when I did I constantly get a pop up that says can't install contents 1-400, so I have to keep it in battery saver mode all the time. It still gets hot like crazy, and do not get the port wet because it detected moisture for days and will intermittently charge and not charge or charge slowly and quick charge. I am hoping another factory reset would do the trick,but idk. These intrinsic obsolescence strategies are how they get you to upgrade to the lg g7
So I did the factory reset. The update error went away the moisture sensor issue went away, the drawing over apps issue went away for 2 days then came back. I cannot use chatheads, pokigenie, twilight, etc. The hell with you LG
